Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 50 mins | Serves: 12

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • 4 large egg whites

  • 1/4 c plain yogurt

  • 2/3 c sugar

  • pinch salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 1/2 c whole wheat flour

  • 1/2 c dried cranberries

  • 2 large apples and pears, peeled and sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush oil onto a 9-inch round spring form pan to coat and lightly dust with flour.

  2. Beat egg whites and yogurt. Then beat in sugar, salt, spices and lemon juice. Fold in flour to form a thick batter.

  3. Gently mix in fruit to the batter, just until the slices are evenly coated. Pour into the prepared pan.

  4. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the top is well-browned. Cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing.

Notes

  • Taste the fruit in advance to gauge the need for sugar.

  • Apples have pectin, a soluble fiber that helps to prevent cholesterol buildup.
